Elena's POV: “Can you repeat? I think I heard you say something that the real you would never say,” I said in astonishment. “I know I’m an insensitive jerk and hurt you with my words, but I care for you, princess. Let’s have dinner with me, tonight,” He said. I looked at him with my mind jumbled in confusion. “I’m sorry, but I’m busy tonight,” I said, knowing that I promised Ben already. “I hope you know what you are getting yourself into,” He mumbled. I didn’t understand the denotations behind his words until he captured my lips in a feverish kiss. Involuntary, my lips moved in sync with him, but it was difficult to match his fast pace. My inside melted, and I felt the hot lava brewing in the pit of my stomach, clenching my insides. This kiss was rough, punishing, and demanding. His lips were coaxing me to give in, and I was fighting a losing battle. His mouth was enough to make me high with pleasure and explode in ecstasy. Then he pulled away from me completely. “I will p
Jakes' POV: I realized that I was in my office and fell asleep in my seat for half an hour. Why is my mind playing tricks on me? I cannot do this with Elena. I don’t love her. Maybe, I’m attracted to her, but I don’t love her. Hanna still has my heart, and she always will have it. I realized what I did today will only ruin Elena's trust in love. She will be heartbroken. I wouldn’t be able to love her the way I did Hanna. It felt like cheating on both of them. Elena needs to stay away from me. I need to stay away from her. We cannot be anything more than friends, maybe not even friends after all this. I recalled what a beautiful smile she had on her face when I left her in college. My body might want her, but my heart will never be able to want someone more than Hanna. The door of my office opened, and my assistant entered. “Sir, we have a meeting in five minutes with Ms. Rachel,” Liam said. “I… uh I’m sorry for earlier. You know what. Take off for rest of the day,” I said, ge
Elena's POV:I shivered at the harshness of his voice. He took the step away from me and handed back the keys. But instead of getting in my car and leaving, I followed him.We walked back to his house to find Lexi and a man standing near his porch."So is everything fine?" Lexi asked to Jake."I'll get you the mails". He said and went inside."I'm sorry for creating a misunderstanding between you guys". She said."It's fine". I mumbled not looking at her."I'm Adam Norman her husband and she told me what happened. We are really sorry for what happened. Actually, we just came back from dinner and saw Jake so she came with him to take mails while I was parking the car". Adam explained.I blushed from embarrassment.Jake came out with the mails and they took it."See you guys around". They said walking towards their house which was beside Jake's house.Jake glanced at me and I looked down at my feet."Are you coming inside?" He asked.I nodded my head and walked inside his house, closing
Jake's POV:Her eyes were shut and the frown was emerging on her forehead on the wait.My lips made their journey back to her neck and I sucked the small amount of her soft skin in the mouth, biting and caressing it with my tongue. Her left hand gripped my hair, pulling me closer and letting me torture her.Her right hand was rubbing slow circles on the nape of my neck making me shiver."We should stop," I said pulling away from her and looking at her face."If you want to stop then it's fine with me. I want to get close to you, not only physically but emotionally. I want to know everything about you". She said placing a soft kiss on my lips."Why do you want to know everything about me?" I asked her."I want us to be real, Jake. You know how my body reacts when you're near me. I'm attracted to you and to your personality but we still have a huge gap to fill in. So let's focus on getting to know everything about each other". She said smiling.At that moment, I asked myself do I deserv
Elena's POV:I woke up and didn't find Jake on the bed. It made me a bit worried so I picked my phone to call him but found a small note from him.Going for the run, I will be back soon.Yawning, I got up from the bed and looked at my dress; it did not look sexy anymore. There were creases all over and I felt uncomfortable in the silk.I decided to sneak into Jake's closet and find something to wear. I left the guest room where we slept last night and made my way upstairs to his room to get something to wear.His closet was filled with suits and lots of casual clothes. My foot collided with the large box and a frame fell off on the floor. I picked it up to find a picture of Hanna and Jake. Hanna was lying on the grass; her head was resting on Jake's lap. They both looked young; it was probably taken when they just started dating. I peeked inside the box and found a small journal with other pictures of them. Then I found a single picture of Jake where he was standing with football in h
Elena's POV:"I want you to come with me and meet my psychotherapist," He said.I looked at him in complete shock and bewilderment."Are you serious? Or is this some kind of a joke?" You laughed little."He wants to meet you to understand me better. I want to be your friend again, Elena." He said.I noticed the sadness on his face and the dark circles under his eyes. He was my friend once and I knew what a sweet guy he was before he started scaring me with his overprotectiveness and love."Give me the address of your psychotherapist and I'll come myself after my class," I said.He looked really grateful and wrote the address on the notepad that I handed him.I ripped the paper and held it in my hand."Was that all?" I asked him feeling the awkwardness around us.His stared at me without blinking his eyes and I started to feel uncomfortable."I need to get ready for the college," I announced.He nodded but didn't look away."Ben, I need you to leave now," I said."Oh, I'm sorry. I just
Elena's POV:When I went to the address that Ben messaged me it was already dark. The place was little far from the city and area seemed secluded. A weird feeling made its way in my system when my eyes landed on the old building.I was planning to turn back and leave when suddenly Ben appeared scaring the shit out of me. He asked me to come out with the action of his hand and I turned off the engine then got out as there was no chance to escape."Your shrink really works from this building?" I asked him feeling nervous."I know it's a weird place but the rich people don't want the media or others to find out that they are messed up in the head so my shrink work from here to keep their information private," he said."Well, it makes sense now," I said with the small laugh.But I was nervous as hell from inside.Ben took me inside and there was an elevator. We went inside the elevator, he pressed 10th floor and after the awkward ride in the elevator, we arrived at the apartment.There wa
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a pain in my head and opened my eyes to find darkness around me. I recalled how something was smashed on my head to make me black out. I panicked and tried to get up but my hands and legs were tied down with rope.I had no other chance but to yell for help."Help! Please, help me."I was hoping someone would hear me.Suddenly, I heard the noise of door and someone entered. A light coming from the torch fell on my face making me flinch."I'm glad you are awake."Ben kneeled down in front of me and I felt the anger pulsing through my veins."What the actual f*ck is this Ben? My mom must be going crazy. I need to go home before my dad turns the city upside down."He shook his head with an amused smile on his face making me angrier. I was glaring at him and he would be dead if I wasn't tied."You are mine and I am going to keep you here until you realize it," He smiled at me creepily.I was boiling with anger. If my hands weren't tied I would definitely give
Elena's POV:Brandon entered and looked at us with a frown."I found her in the washroom then we came here to find you," Madeline said to Brandon.I silently thanked her for explaining my bedraggled look in his best friend hospital room."H-Hi, Brandon" I squeaked.He walked to me then hugged me without giving me any warnings.For a few minutes, we stay silent in each other's arms. I let him hold me knowing how much he hates hospitals and how difficult it was for him to step in here for me and Jake."I hate you stupid sister" He mumbled in my ear and I laughed.He let go of me and glared at me while I laughed harder."You and hate? Pufft" I said with the dismissing wave of my hand."I hate you for scaring the shit out me." He said looking really upset.But the love and satisfaction he had on his face showed me how relieved he was to see me okay."I'm sorry, Brandon. I'm so sorry for everything." I said preventing the tears from falling from my eyes.I knew that I wasn't saying sorry
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a slap on my face and found furious Anna standing near my bed hovering above me.I was confused for a moment and looked around to realize that I was still in the hospital.It was dark outside and it meant I slept all afternoon.Maybe I was tired."You bitch! I was going crazy when your mom called and asked me about you. Then I called every f*cking person in the college to just know if you were with them?" She said looking angry."I'm so sorry, Anna. I had no idea this would happen." I said feeling ashamed for not sharing it with her.She threw a glare at my way then hugged me. Honestly, I was expecting her to beat the shit out of me rather than hugging me. I embraced her back knowing how worried she might be for me all that time."Are you trying to kill me kindly? I can't breathe because of your strong hold." I said to her.She pulled away from me and I noticed tears in her eyes."If you pull something like this again, don't expect me to talk to you ever
Jake's POV:I felt soft caresses on my jaw and opened my eyes. It was really bright; the sun was just shining above my face. I looked around and realized I was lying on the grass in the garden. I sat up feeling confused.Someone placed a hand on my shoulder making me stiff. I turned back and found Hanna. She had a same beautiful smile on her face. Her black hair and her skin were glowing. She had a gold like an aura around her.I was shocked and confused to find her in front of me."Jake," She called my name snapping me out of the shock."Hanna, baby, I missed you so much," I said cupping her face and showering it with kisses.Her skin felt so light, so smooth and soft like a cloud.She smiled at me and put her hand on my jaw."I missed you too, Jake. But I'm so happy here. This is where I live and it's so peaceful," She said making me look around the garden.The garden was breathtaking and peaceful just like heaven."Is this heaven?" I asked her confused."Yes, it's something like he
Elena's POV:Suddenly, the police cars stopped outside the building. Ben panicked and moved to hide in the bushes. His eyes landed on me and he smirked."Oh, I see you are hiding here," He said.He knew he had no chance to escape so did I.I knew I needed to get away from him fast. I stood up and he pulled out something from his jacket.Before I could run away from him, he pointed the gun at my head."Dear, Elena, you're my ticket to escape from here alive" He pulled me towards him and placed his arm around my shoulder.It was quite dark for police to see what was happening and where we were standing because their focus was on the building. Some officers went inside while some stayed outside looking around the area."Stay still" He hissed."Remove your arm and keep this gun away from me" I hissed.He tightened the grip of his arm and glared at me. The officers came out of the building and another car came to stop beside police cars. I knew that black car very well because it belonged

Elena's POV:I arrived at my house and went straight to the lounge. I found my mom and Ben sitting on the couch across each other in the living room talking. There were cupcakes with coffee on the table. I never told my mom why Ben and I were not friends anymore."Hey, mom," I said getting their attention.I sat on the couch beside her and received a glare in return. I knew why she was glaring at me. She wanted me to explain why I didn't come home last night."Hey, you guys talk. I will be in the study if you need me," Mom said looking at me.I nodded with the smile and she left."What are you doing here Ben?" I asked feeling angry at his presence in my house without my permission."You promised to meet me at the café we used to group study. I waited for you there like a fool," He said looking angry."You should have known that I wouldn't come," I said."Why are you doing this me? We were friends at one time," He said."Yes, we were friends, Ben. But we are not friends anymore. If you
Jake POV:I kissed her and everything started to feel different. Her lips were eager and demanding more passion from me. The torture she inflicted on me by gazing at me with her beautiful chocolate brown eyes was enough to send me to hell for thinking about the things that I want to do with her.We pulled away from each other breathing hard. Elena was looking down; her lips were wet and plump from the kiss that we shared. Her hair was a bit of a mess but I kept staring at her to memorize her face at that moment."I...I want you to stay with me, tonight". I said and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.She looked at me with her hazy eyes and I sucked in a sharp breath, cursing myself for being so weak at that moment.She didn't answer me but her lips came back crashing on mine in a feverish kiss. I smiled at her and without thinking much I carried her to the nearest room. I placed her on the bed and she scrambled back to give me space to climb on the bed.I got rid of my shoes and
Jake POV:I went straight to the office, ignoring the people who stopped by to say hello and good afternoon.I didn't know what was happening to me?I sat down on the chair and looked for the ledgers that I asked my assistant to put it here."Where the hell are the ledgers? Didn't I ask you to put them here on my table?" I said calling my assistant."I'm sorry, sir. I'm just getting them". He said and came back with the ledgers.I felt angry and I had no idea why?I opened the ledgers and started to check them but concentrating on it seemed impossible. My mind keeps going back to Elena.I closed my eyes to stop the image of Elena. But only to see Hanna's radiant face playing in my mind.She was smiling at me, saying something that I couldn't understand. Her smile was beautiful and her black hair was spread on the pillow.It was a memory of the morning after we spend the first night together. She was on the bed when I came with the coffee that I made for her."Jake, so is this one time
Elena's POV:His lips were on mine. I couldn't believe it. I tried to make myself believe that this wasn't a dream where I wake up as soon as his lips touches mine.I closed my eyes when the sensation of pleasure filled me, chilling my bones and making me shiver on the places where I never felt anything before. His thumb was caressing the side of my jaw and unintentionally a sigh escaped from my mouth.Then I felt a hand on my back, pulling me closer. I was pressed on his chest. He changed the angle to deepen the kiss. My body was on fire with the way his lips were working, sending waves of desire making me powerless and vulnerable. He pulled away little, letting me breath and started to nibble on my lower lip. My body and mind was on cloud nine.Suddenly, his warm tongue caressed the outline of my lips seeking entrance of my mouth making me lose my balance at the feeling of immense pleasure. But a hand on my waist held me in place.He devoured me like a starved man, kissing, nibbling
